Nintendo E3 Discussion Thread

[Nmil-ek]

Worst presentation yet. So no new titles, a rip off of mario party, a zelda with dodgy controls. Metroid which looks hollow, Kid Icarus, a dead franchise from the 80's, another generic side scrolling platformer (DK) etc. Golden Sun probably will be good, and kirby looked interesting but Mickey looked boring and Perfect Dark on XBL has taught us that remaking old games is pointless as they offer nothing close to the level of gameplay we expect from modern games.
Christ how is Nintendo not broke?

How was Microsoft's, EA's, or Ubisoft's presentation better again?

Kinetic at least looked somewhat entertaining, but mainly the ESPN features, Gears 3, Halo: Reach and Fable 3 looked worth a play.
EA was the best so far. Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Madden, NFS, Medal of Honour and Star Wars.

Haven't seen Ubisoft's but considering the flak it's getting, can't imagine it was any good.

Cant agree, Microsoft was abysmal FPS followed by FPS and TPS and as usual nothing additional for the European market, glad the yanks get yet even more features though. And you cannot hounestly tell me the over half an hour spent on kinnetic and watching a little girl pet virtual animals was fun. Or the forced conversation segments fuck me that was bad.

EA was bland nothing special nothing too bad, Crysis 2 looks gorgeous but I suspect that was the x-box version can imagine what it will look like on a fully optimised rig. Dead space 2 more jumpscares/looks more and more like Resident Evil 4 as times goes on, sports yawn, FPS yawn, Kotor wooo oh it's jsut a trailer no new info *shrug*

And watch Ubisoft and tell me Nintendo was the worst just do it enjoy the game based off breathing, jet set knockoff (that they spend a good 15 mins on), lazer tag, forced jokes and michael jackson dance routine -_-

Yeah Kinet was pretty sh*tty, but at least some of the games looked worth while. Nintendos just re-releasing games they made in the 90's. There presentation utterly lacked any substance which wasn't just appealing to nostalgic nerds.
Crysis 2 looked awesome on the xbox, and Dead Space looked interesting enough to be a worth while sequel, and very, very different to RE4, not sure how you are making that comparison...Sports yawn? It's a big market and shows they aren't just updating players, so hardly something you can "yawn" off unless you have a reason. Yeah Bulletstorm looked atrocious with possibly the worst ingame scripting I've ever heard. And the trailer was pretty if nothing else, but would like to see some gameplay elements, because FMVs show nothing.
When I've time may give Ubisoft worth a watch, but to be honest they've never been a major hitter in the gaming market so no idea why they had a presentation to themselves =S

You cant say Microsoft has not been doing the same thing, they have been riding on the coat-tails of Halo from day 1, cod, GoW Microsofts main market is nostalgia and sequal pushing not old nostalgia fine but old enough.

I enjoyed that one, saw the appeal in the casual games they showed for the Wii, I won't play them but they I can see why folks will. The 3DS was the hot stepper there. It IS innovative. Plus it's list of developers should make the platform shine, at least to start with. I'm looking forward to spending money on one and losing my life to some of those games. Well done Nintendo. Not mind-blowing, but solid.

@Mazty; Calm down man, Nintendo are not going to take your brown boring shooters away from you.

well reach is more purply blue, but thats a different conversation I was really hoping to see Mass effect 3 and Dragon age 2 but I guess Ill be getting Cod clones instead

Your fanboy is showing.

Best E3 conference ever?! Pretty fucking close. I'm not too concerned for the controls in Skyward Sword: I've played games with M+, I know it works. Then we have a new Kirby, Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye, Golden Sun, and Kid Icarus. Then we saw Epic Mickey and the 3DS. This is, bar none, the best presentation Nintendo has done in 3 years, and the best one of this year.

My fanboy is showing?? You aren't concerned about the controls of a game?? Yeah, leave now fanboy.
All you've done is say what they showed, not why any look decent and not just rehashes of what's been around for DECADES.
Clearly you are trolling, so please, leave us all in peace and descend onto youtube, 4chan or wherever you go to post your bile.

Considering I own and have used a Motion+, I know for a fact that the controls work. I'm looking forward to some hands-ons from people online, which will likely have far less interference.
Have you ever considered why the games remain similar in the most basic of senses? Because the games are fun. DK Country remains one of the best 2D platormers of all time; a new one is great for 2D platforming fans. Kirby's new excursion offers a unique style, and some nice gameplay dynamics in regards to thread. Goldeneye is... well, it's Goldeneye. The classic gameplay is still spectacular, and seeing an update with the new advantages of IR control is something worth looking forward to. Kid Icarus is also a kickass game, which is seeing a revival: good stuff.
In conclusion, yes you are a delusional fanboy. You blind yourself to the excellence of this lineup because you are unwilling to believe that Nintendo would actually have something of quality. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

If you don't want more from a game, then why the f**k didn't you just stick with a NES? Yeah, take the nostalgia goggles off kid. Kirby does look interesting, but that was the only game there that did, other than Golden Sun.
OMGOSH GOLDENEYE!!! Dude, get a life. I grew up playing it and there is no reason anyone should still be playing it when there are better games out than it. Hell, Timesplitters 2 was far better than it and that's ignoring this generation of gaming. Golden Eye is pretty much an unplayable mess of a game when compared to todays FPS'. Kid Icarus was last around in the f**king 80's so I think you can hardly say a new game is going to be good or bad; we simply have no idea.

SUBJECTIVE OPINIONS! Look, Goldeneye does things that many other modern shooters do not (difficulty-based mission-objectives, location-based damage, AI-Bots, 4-player local multiplayer), which are absolutely spectacular. Does that mean it can't be improved? Absolutely not, but even outdated, imperfect products can be fun. And are you really telling me to get a life? That is among the lowest insults you can use to damage your own reputation on the Internet (along with questioning someone's age or sexual preference). Do you really expect to be taken seriously like that? Come on.

......Location based damage? AI Bots? 4 player local MP?
Wow. I think I can safely say you need to come out of the 90's and play games on the PS2 and this generation as you clearly have no idea what modern FPS offer.
Of course if you haven't played any modern game for years, Nintendos offerings are good. But if you have been playing games since the PS2, well, you wouldn't have made all those slip ups.
PS. Internet reputation...? Really?

Yes, really. HD games have lessened focus on splitscreen in favor of fitting more polygons onscreen, and a steadier framerate. AI bots have gone into extinction since the introduction of online play. Name a recent shooter where you could A) Shoot a hat off an enemy, B) Disarm enemies with a well-placed shot, C) Shoot a person in the foot, and have them do a dance in pain. These things have gone by the wayside for Internet play and polygons. Not a bad thing to focus on, but you occasionally miss such little things of character. I like both modern and older titles: that does not make me delusional, an idiot, or a fanboy. You are the only person here whose sanity and trollish nature is being questioned here.

If you want to be taken seriously, don't be a douche.

Snip

Okay, it's official: Nintendo wins.

 

[Mantonio]

IT WAS AWESOME

I felt like a little kid at Christmas!

NINTENDO! ALL IS FORGIVEN!

 

[SwitchUK]

That was the most disappointing conference so far. Nothing new there what so ever. 3DS? It sounds destined to failure before its even begun.

EA FTW!

 

[Gigaguy64]

.........
While im a little ehhh at the new Kirby......

Donkey Kong Country, 3DS, Kid Icarus 3DS, MGS 3DS, Resident Evil 3DS, Zelda:Skyward Sword, Kingdom Hearts 3DS....

Nintendo wins E3.

And I was at work so I missed it.

Is Sony's conference after 5pm?

Im not sure.
It starts at 3:00pm where i live.

And i don't think Sony can top Nintendo unless they ditch Move and introduce a System that lets you "Jack In/Log In" a game.

....but the 3DS is new. You are contradicting yourself, no?

 

[zombie711]

cant wait for all the 3ds titles

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

@Mazty; Calm down man, Nintendo are not going to take your brown boring shooters away from you.

It's just a sad day when nostalgia takes over from quality

Or when multiplayer takes over single-player.

yeah a new DS is certainly not going to sell, just look at how badly the current DS is doing
